Getting Started
- For consistently crisp bacon, bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes on a wire rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet. This allows fat to drip away, preventing soggy results.
- Always start with a cold oven when baking bacon. This allows the fat to render slowly and evenly, leading to crispier strips without burning.
- To infuse flavor, sprinkle bacon with black pepper, smoked paprika, or a pinch of cayenne before baking. For a sugar-free 'sweet' option, brush with a monk fruit-sweetened maple syrup substitute during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Save the rendered bacon fat. Strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar and store in the refrigerator. It's an excellent low-carb cooking fat for eggs, vegetables, or searing meats.
